Overview
DVDNET room flow, two-player duel rules, weapon picks, score target, and controls.
Match Mechanics
Match Mechanics| Arena | Duels are contained in a small arena with posts and perimeter danger that force movement decisions. |
|---|
| Scoring | The current V1 format is one round, first to 6 points. |
|---|
| Loadout | Each player chooses one duel weapon package before readying up. |
|---|
| Pickups | Duel pickups use a smaller combat-focused pool than solo runs. |
|---|
| Upgrade draft | After a non-winning kill, the player who scored can draft an upgrade before the next exchange. |
|---|
| Reset rhythm | After each score, players reset into the arena for the next point. |
|---|
Player Actions
Player Actions| Fire | Uses the selected duel weapon package. Shot cooldown is divided by in-match fire-rate bonuses. |
|---|
| Defrag | 10s cooldown, 132 px radius, 12 base damage with falloff, and clears enemy projectiles in radius. |
|---|
| Leap | 8.5s cooldown, 0.62s leap, 225 px landing radius, stun and knockback on landing; the next projectile window gains 1.08x damage. |
|---|
| Dash | Uses solo dash timing; duel impact shoves the opponent 76 units, or 95 with Mega Dash, without direct HP damage. |
